This week’s Substack resource for paid subscribers includes six PNG’s that reflect the work I’ve been doing for over a decade on educational taxonomies for educational outcomes. Each of these taxonomies is standalone, although I advocate that any sound course and programme design would incorporate all five domains of learning. Priority is being given to different domains depending on the nature of the course. For example, one would expect the psychomotor domains to be more important in a dance course than the cognitive domain. Likewise, one would expect an affective domain outcome to be more critical than a psychomotor outcome in an ethics course. The important point is that we need to avoid over-reliance on Bloom’s original cognitive taxonomy.
The new 2026 version of my circular representations of educational taxonomies is available as an A1 poster here
